HBO rejects Ishe for Angulo fight

[Mr. Ryan]

Well Ishe advisor thinks he bring an even better style and more **** for your buck in this fight then Mayorga would.

Tommy Morrison's new promoter says he's HIV negative and will bring the heavyweight title to Wyoming.

An adviser/manager would say anything to advance his clients cause, understand what I'm saying? If you've seen Ishe Smith and you've seen Mayorga, you know who is the more exciting fighter.

I think HBO should have approved him. He's not an elite in the division, but he's good enough for Angulo at this point in his career and HBO has approved worse fighters in recent fights at the weight. Brian Vera comes to mind.

So does Tarver/Dawson rematch.......

I think HBO had to take that fight to get into the Dawson business.

Steve Kim just reported that as of now, it looks like Angulo is off the card completely....

Ishe is the new Junior Witter to HBO.

Stink up the joint in a big fight, and you're forgotten.

Which brings me to Andre Dirrell and that awful fight with Curtis Stevens.

Ishe made his bed. Sometimes you just gotta lie in it.

Or throw out the mattress.

I wonder what Kassim Ouma's up to.

HBO is probbaly still having nightmares over the Powell fight. I dont blame them. That said, who didnt enjoy the Julio fight? I thought that was a well contested, quality boxing match. Maybe it's just me. Ishe will be a lot more entertaining against a brawler since he likes to counter punch. This is about as good as you can do. I'm disappointed in HBO. I think part of it is them being afraid of Ishe upsetting Angulo, which is a real possibility.

Dan Rafael outlook about the situation

Pat (NY): Why did HBO reject Ishe Smith? I think that would be a good contrast in styles.

SportsNation Dan Rafael: Why would HBO accept him? Terrible style fight. And what has Ishe done lately to deserve the fight anyway?

Danny Perez is stepping in for Mayorga.
